Tim Gillam part 2, on top of Espirtu Santo Island.
In 1989 a friend and I went to La Paz to pick up an sail boat destined for San Pedro. On the way we stopped at Espiritu Santo Island to clean the bottom, one day for fun we hiked to the top of the island where I found this plaque place there by the crew of the Liberty Bell II in 1952. Because the boat was out of San Pedro it may have been a seiner even at that time. The Captains name was S. Carr. Other names are also legible. sdtunaboats@cox.net

In memory of Tony Pereira. (T.P)
I’m sorry to announce the passing of Tony Pereira. A man who dedicated 40 plus years to the Tuna Industry. Worked on a number of seiners, but spent a large amount of time aboard the Aquarius and Pisces as the fleets best skiff man. Honestly the man never took a trip off, he was the tuna fleets Cal Ripkin always on board. I will miss you Uncle Tony God Bless You .
